Chapter 3-4 Flashcards
CBC
Complete blood count (blood component)
- red blood cell (erythrocytes)
- white blood cell (leukocytes)
- platelets (thrombocyte)
BMP/CMP
Basic/Complete Metabolic Panel (liver and kidney function)
- electrolytes (Na, K, Ca)
- kidney enzymes & function
- liver enzymes & function
Urine Tests
Urine Analysis
- pH
- specific gravity
- Bilirubin
- glucose
- ketones
- proteins
- blood
- bacteria
- nitrite (bacterial infection)
- leukocytes
Urine culture
Used to figure the type of bacteria to make the most effective treatment for
X-ray
- 2D of bones and cartilage
- No ligaments, tendons, muscles, organs
- commonly for limbs, chests, abdominal
- position body and body parts
Radi/o
x-ray
radiolucent
to shine through (dark)
radiopaque
to absorb (light)
Ultrasound/sonography
- produced by sound waves and vibrations
- ex: echocardiogram, pelvic ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound
son/o
sound
echo-
a repeated sound
ultra-
beyond
CT Scan
computed tomography scan
- x-ray that gives cross sectional images in specific areas
- 3D that is made up of 2D images put together
- ex: brain, neck, spine, chest, limbs
- can inject contrast materials (radiopaque material to show contrast with surrounding tissues)
MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- use magnetic field and radio waves
- detailed image of soft tissues
Nuclear Medicine Scans
- use radioactive substances
Ex: bone scan, thyroid scan, thallium (TI) scan
PET & PET/CT scan
Positron Emission Tomography
- small amounts of radioactive substances
- cell that has a higher metabolic rate –> highlighted (tumor)
Gastrointestinal Tract/ alimentary canal
digestive system
- composed of accessory glands and organ
Ingestion
food taken into the mouth
Digestion
complex nutrients broken down to simpler form (mechanically or chemically)
Protease
breaks down protein to animo acid
amylase
breaks down carbohydrates into glucose
Lipase
breaks down fat to fatty acids or triglycerides
absorption
digested food moves into bloodstream, throughout the body and provides energy for the cell
elimination
remove waste that can’t be absorbed
defecation
removal of waste through anus
lapar/o
abdomen
celi/o
abdomen/belly
-prandial
meal
-orexia
appetite
-phagia
eating/swallowing
-pepsia
digestion
-chezia
defecation, elimination of wastes
salivary glands
saliva - lubricate the mouth and food
salivary amylase: breaks down carbohydrates
Parotid gland
within the cheek, anterior to the ear
submandibular gland
(sub- mandibul/o -ar)
below the mandible
sublingual gland
(sub- lingu/o -al)
below the tongue
Palates
separate oral and nasal cavity
uvula
aids in production of sounds an speech
tongue
assist in chewing, swallowing and speaking
teeth
masticate
mastication
act of chewing
saliva
contains amylase and produced by salivary gland
bolus
moistened food still in the mouth
chyme
partially digested food
bucc/o
cheeks
cheil/o, labi/o
palate (hard and soft)
uvul/o
uvula
gloss/o, lingu/o
tongue
tonsill/o
tonsils
gingiv/o
gums
dent/i, odont/o
teeth
faci/o
face
mandibul/o
mandible, lower jaw
or/o, stomat/o
mouth
sialaden/o
salivary gland
sial/o
saliva, salivary
pharynx
throat
- food ingested from oral cavity to the esophagus
- air traveling from the oral cavity to the esophagus
esophagus
extending from the pharynx to the stomach
- uses peristalsis
- connects to stomach through the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)
Deglutition
food moves into the esophagus
- bolus –> closed larynx and trachea through movement of epiglottis –> esophagus –> epiglottis opens again
pharyng/o
throat
esophag/o
esophagus
cardia /LES
connection to stomach from esophagus
fundus
superior domed portion of the stomach
body
between fundus and pylorus
